The reconstruction of Lingxu Market is in full swing, with new buildings springing up like mushrooms after rain, and defensive formations being continuously reinforced and improved. However, behind this seemingly hopeful and vibrant scene, a new crisis is quietly approaching.
During a mission, an intelligence agent from the Linghe Chamber of Commerce unexpectedly discovered some unusual signs. In a small town some distance from the Lingxu Market, he noticed a group of strangers frequently appearing. These people were dressed plainly, but their behavior exuded a mysterious aura, and they seemed particularly interested in the progress of the Lingxu Market's reconstruction.
The intelligence officer became wary and began secretly tracking the group. He discovered that they would gather at an abandoned warehouse in town every so often. After some effort, he finally managed to infiltrate the vicinity of the warehouse and overhear their conversation.
"The reconstruction of the Lingxu Market is progressing faster than we imagined. If this continues, our plans may be affected," a deep voice said.
"Hmph, what's there to be afraid of? The Bloodblade Sect Master has already contacted more forces. Once we are fully prepared, we will definitely plunge the Spirit Ruins Market into chaos once again," another voice responded.
The intelligence officer was greatly alarmed. He realized that the Bloodblade Sect was indeed plotting a new conspiracy, and that there seemed to be other unknown forces involved. He dared not delay and immediately relayed the news back to the Spirit Harmony Merchant Guild.
Upon learning of this, the Chamber of Commerce president immediately relayed the information to Lin Yang and other leaders of various factions. The group gathered again in the council hall, the atmosphere heavy with tension.
"It seems the Bloodblade Sect is still up to its old tricks and has even won over new forces. We must find out their background and plans as soon as possible," Lin Yang said grimly.
The Pavilion Master of Wanbaoge frowned: "We've been focused on reconstruction and the development of magical artifacts all this time. We didn't expect the Blood Blade Sect to be making so many moves in the dark. We need to strengthen our intelligence gathering and not let them succeed again."
The elder of the Spirit Sword Sect nodded in agreement: "Sword cultivators can form reconnaissance teams to patrol the area around the Spirit Ruins Market. Once they find any suspicious persons, they should be arrested and interrogated immediately."
After discussion, the Lingxu Market further strengthened its intelligence work. The Linghe Chamber of Commerce dispatched more intelligence agents, who were dispersed to various corners to gather information about the Blood Blade Sect and the mysterious forces. The Lingjian Sect's reconnaissance teams also began conducting thorough patrols of the surrounding areas, leaving no suspicious place unchecked.
Thanks to the efforts of the Linghe Chamber of Commerce's intelligence agents, some clues about the mysterious force have gradually surfaced. It is understood that this mysterious force is called the "Netherworld Palace," an organization that has long been hidden in the dark corners of the cultivation world. They are skilled in using various sinister spells, act with extreme secrecy, and have always plotted to stir up chaos in the cultivation world to achieve their ulterior motives.
"The Netherworld Palace? I've never heard of this organization before. It seems our enemy is more complex than we imagined." Lin Yang frowned as he looked at the intelligence report in his hand.
After a moment of contemplation, the Pavilion Master of Wanbaoge said, "According to intelligence, the Netherworld Palace is skilled in sinister magic. Perhaps we can start from this aspect and develop some targeted magical artifacts."
The president of the Linghe Chamber of Commerce also said, "The Chamber of Commerce will continue to delve deeper into the intelligence of the Netherworld Palace, to understand their organizational structure, personnel distribution, and possible action plans. At the same time, we will also strengthen communication with friendly forces in the surrounding areas to see if they have any knowledge of the Netherworld Palace."
